Genesis 33
1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
雅各伯舉目，看見厄撒烏帶了四百人前來，遂將孩子分別交與肋阿、辣黑耳和兩個婢女；
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
將兩個婢女和她們的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最後是辣黑耳和若瑟。
3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
他自己走在他們前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到來到哥哥前。
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
厄撒烏卻向他跑來，抱住他，撲在他頸上吻他，兩人都哭了。
5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
厄撒烏舉目，看見女人和孩子，遂問說：「這些人是你的什麼人﹖」雅各伯答說：「是天主恩賜給你僕人的孩子。」
6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。
7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
肋阿和她的孩子也前來叩拜了，最後若瑟和辣黑耳才近前來叩拜。
8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favour in the sight of my lord.”
厄撒烏又問說：「我所見的這一大隊，有什麼意思﹖」雅各伯答說：「這是蒙我主悅納的。」
9 Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷! 」
10 Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favour in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
雅各伯說：「請不要這樣! 我若真蒙你悅納，請你收下我手中的禮物；因為我見了你的面，就如見了天主的面；你實在仁厚接待了我。
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
請你收下我獻給你的禮品；因為天主厚待了我，我什麼都有了。」由於雅各伯極力懇請，他才收下了。
12 Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」
13 Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
雅各伯對他說：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我還要照顧尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顧催趕，全群牲畜都要死盡。
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
還是請我主在你僕人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子們的腳步，慢慢前行；直至達到色意依爾我主那裏。」
15 Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favour in the sight of my lord.”
厄撒烏說：「讓我留下幾個跟我的人陪著你。」雅各伯說：「只要我能蒙我主悅納，又何必如此! 」
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。
17 Jacob travelled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
雅各伯卻動身往穌苛特去了，在那裏為自己蓋了一座房屋，為牲畜搭了些棚子；為此給那地起名叫「穌苛特。」
18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來，平安來到客納罕地的舍根城，在城的對面支搭了帳幕。
19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
他支搭帳幕的那塊地，是由舍根的父親哈摩爾的兒子們手裏，用一百塊銀錢買來的
20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
雅各伯在那裏建立了一座祭壇，稱它為：「大能者以色列的天主。」
